[Sca-cooks] Soup for the Qan - Used copy $135 US

[Wanda Pease]

I ordered mine before it came out because I had been corresponding with Paul
Buell for some time about it.  Both Amazon and Barnes and Noble confirmed my
order at $127.  Then the Publisher upped the price to $225 and they tried to
cancel.  However, B&N had already shipped Adamantius (I think) his copy for
$127.  I called B&N up and bitched big time!  In the end they not only gave
it to me for $127 but they didn't charge me shipping and gave me a $10 gift
certificate to boot.

According to Paul there is no "2nd" edition.  He was furious at the
publisher because he wanted his work out there someplace besides a
University sub basement!

This is the ISBN number for the edition I have
which when you check the book is marked as a
